Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the packaging field. The invention in particular relates to a membrane seal for a container, for example a container for food products, cosmetic products, products for medical use, etc. The invention further pertains to a stopper and a container provided with such a membrane seal.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Certain products are packaged in containers closed by a stopper, which sometimes tops a membrane seal. The presence of a membrane seal improves the storage duration of the product and indirectly certifies the authenticity of the contents to the consumer. Based on needs, membrane seals are made from flexible materials, and are sometimes formed by a stack of several layers secured to one another. Furthermore, the use of membrane seals in the context of authenticating contents implies that they are generally made from fragile materials, such that they must be irreparably damaged to access the product.
Some fraudulent operators, however, have used very fine syringes to siphon and replace the contents of certain containers without damaging the membrane seals. Membrane seals that do not protect against this type of manipulation are not fulfilling their role regarding the authentication of contents.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention aims to resolve this drawback by providing a membrane seal that indicates whether contents stored in a container have been altered, and thus makes it possible for an end customer to authenticate a product.
The invention also aims to provide a membrane seal that performs several functions: a first logistical function, for example as part of an inventory management system, and a second securing function in order to, inter alia, prevent attempted security breaches, detect siphoning attempts of the contents.
These aims are achieved by a membrane seal comprising a control device, the control device being provided with communication means to send and receive radiofrequency signals and configured to determine the integrity of a first antenna, and a tight pouch containing a liquid or viscous substance.
According to one feature, the membrane seal can comprise a near field communication device comprising a second antenna.
According to another feature, the pouch can be made from a material less hard than steel.
According to another feature, the pouch can be made from a plastic material.
According to another feature, the thickness of the wall of the pouch can be less than 3 mm.
According to another feature, the substance may contain a dye or liquid invisible to the naked eye.
According to another feature, the pouch may extend over the entire surface of the membrane seal or over only part of the surface of the membrane seal.
According to another feature, the thickness of the membrane seal can be smaller than 1 mm.
According to another aspect of the invention, a stopper for a container comprises a membrane seal as described above.
According to another aspect of the invention, a container comprises a membrane seal as described above.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from reading the following description, in reference to the appended figures, which illustrate:
FIG. 1, a front diagrammatic view of a membrane seal according to the invention positioned at the apex of the neck of a bottle;
FIG. 2, a front sectional view of a membrane seal according to the invention;
FIG. 3, a top view of a membrane seal according to the invention.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a membrane seal 1 positioned on a container 2, in the present case a container for food products, in the case at hand a bottle intended to store a liquid or viscous food products. Although shown in FIG. 1 at the apex of the neck of a bottle 2, the membrane seal 1 according to the invention can be used with containers for all types of products, for example containers for cosmetic products, for products intended for medical use, irrespective of the form, i.e., a bottle, pots, jar, etc.
As is typical, the membrane seal 1 according to the invention can be glued, heat sealed, or simply placed at the apex of the container 2.
Alternatively, the membrane seal 1 according to the invention can be secured to or be an integral part of a stopper or cover intended to close a container.
The structure of the membrane seal 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2. It assumes the form of a stack of several layers c1, c2 and c3 secured to one another.
A first of these layers c1 comprises a first circuit supporting a control device 3, including a transmitter and a receiver for radiofrequency signals and connected to a first antenna 4, preferably an antenna of the “Tamper Evident” type, which is designed so as to undergo irreversible damage in case of manipulation. The control device 3 is configured to determine the integrity of the first antenna 4 and, if the integrity of the antenna is altered, to act by emitting a specific radiofrequency signal and/or modifying configuration data specific to it.
The control device 3 is able to emit radiofrequency signals when it is stimulated by a reader that supplies it with power. Based on the needs, the control device 3 is designed such that the signals that it emits can be picked up several tens of centimeters away, or even several tens of meters away. Preferably, the control circuit 3 comprises a second antenna (not shown). Such a device is therefore appropriate for being used within an automated inventory management system.
A second layer c2 of the membrane seal 1 comprises a tight pouch 5 containing a liquid or viscous substance. Preferably, the substance contains a dye visible to the naked eye. Alternatively, the substance contains a dye not visible to the naked eye, but which can be revealed using an appropriate device.
Preferably, the pouch 5 is flexible and is made from plastic. Alternatively, the pouch 5 is made from a material less hard than steel. Preferably, the thickness of the wall of the pouch 5 is smaller than 3 mm.
Preferably, the pouch 5 is flexible over the entire surface of the membrane seal 1. Alternatively, the pouch 5 extends over only part of the surface of the membrane seal 1.
A third layer c3 of the membrane seal 1 comprises a second circuit supporting a near field communication (NFC) device 6 appropriate for communicating with a mobile device, for example a smartphone. Preferably, the near field communication device 6 includes a third antenna 7. The near field communication device 6 is thus configured, inter alia, to communicate with a mobile device in order to allow the authentication of the product at a point-of-sale by a consumer.
Once it is positioned on a container, the membrane seal according to the invention makes it possible to determine whether the contents stored inside the container have been modified using a syringe. In fact, if a syringe is inserted through the stopper, the pouch 5 is pierced and the substance contained within the pouch 5 is released.
Furthermore, the first antenna 4 being designed such that it does not withstand an attempt to remove the membrane seal, if anyone tries to remove the membrane seal 1, the antenna 4 is altered and the control device 3, which is configured to monitor the integrity of the antenna 4 constantly, emits a specific radiofrequency signal that can be received and interpreted by an appropriate computer system and/or modifies configuration data specific to it.
Although the structure of the membrane seal has been described as comprising several stacked layers, the structure may alternatively, inasmuch as all of the elements described above are present, include a different number of layers. Likewise, the arrangement of the layers c1, c2 and c3 making up the membrane seal 1 can be different from that shown in FIGS. 1-3.
Preferably, the thickness (e) of the membrane seal according to the invention is smaller than 1 mm. Alternatively, the thickness of the membrane seal 1 is smaller than 5 mm.
